The last racing-specific game I played was NFS: Heat which let you display 8 or so cars in your "garage" (which all your properties link to). Shame that FH doesn't have anything like it.

Unrelated, is there a Discord for organizing? It'd be cool to be able to link up and do co-op events etc

I've found that ride height is a big factor on how much water depth you can easily handle. If you're up high enough that only the wheels are in the water it barely affects you, but as soon as body panels get in you're in trouble.

If you do a Drag race at the ruins in a BMW Isetta there's a chance the Peel will be a drivatar, you can finish the photo challenge that way.
The drivatars are also hilariously bad at driving it, worth doing this just to see it.

Also I've tried using that 78 Escort Hoonigan tune, but it shows as being S2 901 when I install it, then shows as S1 900 in menus, then doesn't let me pick it for the trial.

The general not having a start sequence just "go" is probably my biggest peeve. I'd switch to manual if launch control worked in actual races

Split times would be nice too, dunno why they left that out except maybe to cover for how the drivatars occasionally gently caress off and skip a couple of checkpoints

Be careful. You can crash into teammates as well. Trials don't have the gentleness of Open where you get some crash freebies.

Here's a real-world test of the 2018, sounds like it tops out at 183 in 7th but they cut it a bit weird for whatever reason so maybe that's actually 8th gear

Of the two tries it took me for the Trial this week, we really only failed the first because someone came in with a B605 '73 Carrerra and screwed us all by coming in last every time and not leaving.

Second go was much better as everyone was B695-700

Did it with the Sesto FE, after modding it a bit for more control (spoiler and 10-speed for point reduction, then wheel sizing and something else I don't remember)

It's pretty intense when outside of my S2 rally Ultima for Arcade stuff I rarely go over A class.

Fair warning, I said "a ton of fun". And it's probably unplayable if you're not in automatic. But it's pretty good for me with ABS and automatic enabled and everything else stripped out.

Was actually fun to drive, too, at least in my little B700 AWD Mugen CRX with off-road tires. Just fling that thing around.
~6 minutes in my B700 2000GT purely out of spite after realizing the length and that rewind was turned off.

But the photo was the tickover for the seasonal hilux so I'm okay with it.

It's 1 skill point per 50K, maxing out for 10 at 500K.

There are a few cars that increase the multiplier cap to 7x (Hoonigan RS200 being a notable one, a few Forza Editions like the '53 Corvette, most or all of the Formula Drift cars, others I'm forgetting) but the skill song multiplier increase is to 10x max for any car.

(If you're running a 7x max and you're just going for skill points, you can stop at 71,500 x 7)
